Crafting a Timber Candle Holder Workbook

I spent some time over the summer break putting together a workbook full of resources. This year, we’re going to work on making a cute little wooden candle holder, but feel free to switch it up and do your own thing! Use whatever parts you like. Hit me up on Bluesky if you spot any typos or have cool ideas or stuff I should add. It’s still a work in progress! If there’s enough interest, I could share some of the Affinity Designer/Publisher files I put together so you can tweak them however you want.

Veneers and Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)

Two excellent resources I found on Youtube recently that show the manufacture of several timber products. Although a little long in the tooth they make excellent resources for student and teachers covering Industrial Technology and Design and Technology.
